Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to N,N'-disubstituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines which are useful as insecticides, compositions containing those compounds and methods of their use. This invention also relates to the production of intermediates useful in the production of such compounds.
The search for compounds which have a combination of excellent insecticidal activity and low undesirable toxicity is a continuing one because of factors such as the desire for compounds exhibiting greater activity, better selectivity, lower undesirable environmental impact, lower production and market cost and higher effectiveness against insects which are or become resistant to many known insecticides.
There continues to be a need to develop insecticidal compounds having improved insecticidal and methods of production properties as described above. The present invention provides improved N,N'-disubstituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines which are unexpectedly propertied with enhanced, higher activity. The combination of higher activity and lower undesirable toxicity can provide an economic and environmental advantage in the use of the inventive compounds. Compounds of the present invention are particularly suitable for controlling plant-destructive insects in crops of cultivated plants, ornamentals and forestry.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,117,057 discloses insecticidal N'-substituted-N,N'-disubstituted hydrazines and Japanese Kokai Hei 4-235177 discloses new hydrazine derivatives and their use as the effective ingredient in insecticide compositions.

Preparation of 6-carboxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-dihydrobenzofuran and 6-carboxymethyl-1-methyl-benzofuran
Using procedures analogous to those of D. W. Robertson, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 35, 310 (1992) and V. Peesapati, and N. Lingaiah, Org. Prep. Proc. Int., 24(1), 27 (1992), the hydroxy group of methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate was alkylated with 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene to give methyl 3-(2-methyl-2-propenyloxy)benzoate. This material then underwent a 3,3 sigmatrophic shift to give methyl 3-hydroxy-4-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)benzoate. Formic acid catalyzed ring closure resulted in 2,2-dimethyl-6-carboxymethyl-dihydrobenzofuran.
By using 2,3-dichloropropene instead of 3-chloro-2-methyl-1-propene as the alkylating agent, the same procedure provides 6-carboxymethyl-1-methyl-benzofuran.
Preparation of 6-Carboxy-benzofuran and 6-Carboxy-dihydrobenzofuran
6-Carboxy-benzofuran was prepared from methyl 4-formyl-3-hydroxy-benzoate using the procedure of F. Duro and P. Condorelli, Ann. Chim. (Roma), 53(11), 1582 (1963). The corresponding dihydrobenzofuran was prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the benzofuran in a Parr apparatus using ethyl acetate as the solvent and platinum oxide catalyst.
Preparation of 7-substituted-6-carboxy-dihydrobenzofuran
6-Carboxy-dihydrobenzofuran was first treated with thionyl chloride to give the acid chloride. The acid chloride was then treated with 2-amino-2-methylpropanol to give an intermediate amide which was cyclized to 6-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolyl)dihydrobenzofuran by treatment with thionyl chloride, both steps using the procedure described in A. Meyers and W. Avila, J. Org. Chem., 46, 3881 (1981). This procedure also describes methylation at the 7-position using butyl lithium and methyl iodide. Subsequent acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the oxazoline results in formation of the 7-substituted-6-dihydrobenzofuran.
Preparation of 7-substituted and 2-substituted-6-carboxy-benzofurans
6-Carboxy-benzofuran was treated with 2.2 equivalents of butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran at -65° to -70° C. followed by addition of ethyl iodide and permitting the reaction mixture to warm to room temperature. This process resulted in a mixture of the 7- and 2-ethyl substituted 6-carboxy-benzofurans. These two isomers were not separated at this time. However, after formation of the corresponding N-substituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines, as described below, the isomers were separated as the diacylhydrazine derivatives using silica gel chromatography with methylene chloride:ethyl acetate 9:1 elution solvent.
Preparation of N-substituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines
The N-substituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines corresponding to the above carboxybenzofurans were prepared in a two step process. The first step is the formation of the acid chloride. With the exception of 2,2-dimethyl-6-carboxy-dihydrobenzofuran, which required the use of oxalyl chloride, the acid chlorides can be prepared using standard methods known in the art using thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloide, phosphorous pentachloride, and the like, as the chlorinating agent.
Reaction of the acid chloride with N-tert-butyl-N-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)hydrazine in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or butyl acetate and potassium carbonate resulted in formation of the corresponding N-substituted-N,N'-diacylhydrazines of formula I wherein the Z substituent forms a fused furan or dihydrofuran ring.
